Question by $$anonymous$$ · Jul 09, 2013 at 08:06 AM · gameobjectprefabgetcomponentinstantiated

How do I assign a script to an instantiated prefab?

I am currently creating a "spell" particle effect prefab which I need to turn into a Rigidbody to control it's physics to launch it through the use of an external script, the script itself is ready and setup but I am not sure how to assign that script to the said instantiated prefab.

Current code to spawn object:

 GameObject go1;
 spellFired = spellMechanics.testSpell1;
 go1=Instantiate(spellFired,spellSpawn1.position, spellSpawn1.rotation) as  GameObject;    
 go1.transform.parent=transform;

Just simple code I did to test out some different things, how would I go about assigning a script that is in my project folders (does it have to be within the Scene existing somewhere?)

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Maybe you can try GameObject.AddComponent.

 ScriptClass myScript = gameObject.AddComponent<ScriptClass>();

No problem, this system is a bit tricky and sometimes it doesn't show stuff like it should.

You can use the GameObject.AddComponent - function.

The script doesn't have to be anywhere in the scene, if it is included in your Unity project, the compiler will find it.

I've tried and it seems to do absolutely nothing, I've read up on it and I think I'm messing it up somehow just been up Unity-ing for 8 hours so maybe need to clear my head.

Okay. If don't get it to work could you post your code so I can see if the problem is in there?

I'll respond tomorrow when I double-check everything on a fresh head, if I don't respond it's all good.

Thank you =)
